Incubus | Opprobrium




Serpent Temptation (first version), 1988
Serpent Temptation (second version), 1996
Beyond The Unknown, 1990
Discerning Forces, 2000
Mandatory Evac, 2008
Ripping 80s killer thrash and death!!! Cultosaurus fierce & very very fast metal for every family member addicted to the mighty early output of Sepultura | Sodom | A.R.G. | Sadus | Wehrmacht | Morbid Angel | Dark Angel, yes, all this and more, greatness included. The first two albums are simply awesome, as in shock and awe. Story of Serpent Temptation: both version feature the same basic tracks, the second version has rerecorded vocals, new lyrics and different song titles, and some new guitar tracks, and better artwork. Both are amazing, the first being more Kreator | Wehrmacht oriented in the vocal department, while the second version sounds more like Sepultura | Morbid Angel. I never found out which one I liked the most, both rip your flesh from your bones and eat it. Then they came back 10 years later under the Opprobrium moniker with Discerning Forces which is another killer album in the brutal thrash style of Chaosfear | Claustrofobia. Unfortunately Mandatory Evac is not that great - could have been but the flat production alters the soundgasm (STOP CRANKING THE ULTRA MAXIMIZER!!! Who fucking cares how loud it is...). METAL THRASHING MAD ZERRRRRrrRRrrrRrrrRRrrrRrrRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrR !R! !R !rR !R!R RrRRRRRRRRRRRRRR !R!Rrrrr Rrr r R R!R!RRR! !RrrrR RRRRRRRRRRRRRRR !RR! R!!!!!

  1. C'est pourtant simple, la deuxième version avec les grosses voix et le gros mix est bien meilleure, j'ai d'ailleurs une étude qui le prouve.

  2. Cette étude possède de toute évidence un biais anti Wehrmacht. Or on se laisse facilement séduire par l'épaisseur du son, ce dont Exclaim nous enseigne de nous foutre avec volupté.
